Familiar poems and almost unknown poems. Love poems and war poems. Funny poems and heartbroken poems. Poems that re-create the world we know and poems written on the dark side of the moon.

This is an anthology which celebrates the age-old pleasure of reciting poems - an anthology for all ages to treasure.
